Pile of bullcrap?
Yeah I think so.
They don't have anything that's more than say, 2 years old.
If an artist has more than one album, then the ones preceding their latest don't actually exist, it seems.
Anyone else want to join my revolutinary army to bring down this commercial monstrosity?

not long ago and bought two Sonic Youth cds for a fiver each. The bloke behind the counter enthused about being able to get two SY cds for a tenner and how great that was. I pointed out that it was about time too and that HMV had to do something to compete with Fopp, whereby I was greeted with a stony silence and death stare.

Hopefully they will go bust soon and be selling their stock off proper cheap.

record shops when they start to support the customer, all these reports of sister ray people laughing if you buy a fall out boy cd or whatever, they still stock it so they're just as bad surely? Rough Trade had no idea who silversun pickups were when I asked if they were getting the album in... used to be you'd go into a shop and the guy behind the counter would say, "if you like that then this should really blow you away", never get that now... like the ballboy song goes :D

my significant other...bandmate worked there for far too long I do take note of the handwritten recommendations no matter how wrong they are, it's probably the highlight of that person's job getting to write those, other than that it's stacking shelves with cd's innit?

I used to work there... They never let me write a review. That would have made my day. I can't speak for the main rock and pop sections, but the people in the specialities bits really know what they're talking about.
